Solid States: Concrete in Architecture and Structural Engineering

About This Movie

So, 'Solid States' is this fascinating documentary that dives deep into concrete's role in architecture and engineering. Michael Blackwood does a nice job weaving together lectures and interviews with architects like Steven Holl and Toshiko Mori. You really get a sense of how concrete is more than just a building material; it's got a life of its own, you know? The pacing is pretty steady, allowing time to soak in the visuals, which are striking. There's this almost reverent tone when discussing the adaptability of concrete - it’s not just about the structures but also about how they fit into our lives. It’s a thoughtful watch that makes you rethink the spaces around you.
